Question

a printer is an example of which type of communication device? input handheld output compiler

Explanation:

To determine the type of communication device a printer is, we analyze each option:

• Input devices send data to a computer (e.g., keyboard, mouse), while a printer does not do this.
• Handheld devices are portable (e.g., smartphones), and a printer is not typically handheld.
• Output devices receive data from a computer and present it (e.g., printer, monitor). A printer takes data from the computer and produces a physical output (like a printed document).
• A compiler is software that translates code, not a hardware device like a printer.

So, a printer is an output device.
